Equipment
- 2 fitted skillets/cast iron pans as detailed in article

Ingredients
When cooking
- cauliflower mushroom, cut or torn into 3-4" chunks
- butter or extra virgin olive oil as-needed to provide generous oil to pan

- fresh-grated parmesan cheese, to taste
- fresh thyme, as garnish
- lemon juice, light spritz over top
Instructions
- Clean and pull cauliflower mushroom into 3-4" chunks, as detailed in article.
- Get out two nested skillets. The larger bottom skillet will do the cooking and the smaller top one will be used to presss down on the mushroom chunks. Place bottom skillet on stovetop over medium heat and add butter or extra virgin olive oil to the pan. Once heated, add an arrangement of cauliflower mushroom chunks, then immediately press down with smaller pan to flatten them and push water out.
- Cook on one side for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook on other side for 4-5 minutes or until just starting to get browned. Do not overcook or blacken mushroom pieces or cauliflower mushroom can take on acrid, off flavors. Repeat as needed until all mushroom pieces are cooked.
- Arrange on plate. Sprinkle on salt (unless you used salted butter), fresh grated parmesan cheese, thyme, and lemon juice. Serve warm, not cold!
